#2: So You’re Picking up Tracy K. Smith From the Airport

Here we go with the second installment of my new every-other-week segment for the The Missouri Review‘s blog wherein I curate and comment on the “perfect playlist” for picking up notable literary figures (poetry or prose, alive or dead) from the airport. Up this time was Pulitzer Prize winning poet Tracy K. Smith. The list features some Joy Division, Sun Ra, a little Madvillain, and of course David Bowie (Smith’s most recent collection was named Life on Mars after all). Take a look, give it a listen, I hope you enjoy!
